Research Overview

My group is interested in developing new transition metal-catalysed reactions for the synthesis of small organic molecules.

We aim to develop tools for chemists to build complex molecules that may be used in new pharmaceuticals or materials. There is a particular focus on developing reactions that are efficient and selective so as to reduce waste and energy consumption. Through collaborations we also aim to harness synthetic chemistry to learn more about biological systems and develop potential new therapeutics.

We also use metals to develop novel catalytic organometallics as potential pharmaceutical agents.
